Seeing the blurred words through my tears I have just now finished Molokai. What a heart wrenching journey through the life of Rachel Kalama. As a leper sanctioned to a remove part of Molokai for most of her life, we learn once again that we all just want to be loved. Piggy- backed on the last two reads for my book clubs, (Unbroken, and The Hotel on The Corner of Bitter and Sweet), I was glad for the historical references and different points of view coming from a war torn America, and all of the tragedies that we as a country endured and scarred our history with. Although there was a small reference to this time period in the book, the impact is substantial.
If you have the time, take a trip to Moloka'i.
